Domino: The Dead Heroes Series

The second novel based on a Trilogy of books from the Dystopia Rising game universe. The Dystopian Future There is a story told by the scarred ruins of civilization, pieced together by some survivors yet understood by few. Generations ago, an infection spawned and raged out of control, a wildly mutating disease capable of raising the dead and turning their insatiable hunger against the living. Governments turned their devastating weaponry against their own people, transforming suburbs into war zones and reducing cities to rusting skeletons of steel and broken glass. First the war was waged on the undead hordes, then against fellow survivors over dwindling resources as the world burned and society collapsed. The world drowned in blood while nuclear fires burned the atmosphere in a desperate effort to turn the tide and save the few remaining holdouts. The age of culture and plenty ended heralding the true test of survival to come in this dystopian wasteland. Tribeca Rockaway was raised on the ruined rooftops of Old York, a blooded member of the Dead Heroes gang and a hardened killer even by that city's brutal standards. She took on a delivery run for the notorious Broadway Jack, only to find half the city hot on her tail, desperate to claim his mysterious package for themselves. With help from her fellow gang member Jimmy Three Ex, Rockaway barely escaped Old York, headed down the coast to the glittering city of Aysea to make her delivery. It's a place where fortunes are won and lost on a roll of the dice, where thousands of slaves support the pampered lives of a wealthy few, and where Rockaway finally hopes to put this business behind her. And if she can survive deranged cultists, mutant animals, seductive spies and of course the ever-present threat of the undead, she just might get her wish. It's time to ante up, and play the hand she's dealt.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.
